Episode 51: How to become a bestselling author in two years - with Daniel Hurst

We've been lucky enough to speak to some spectacularly successful indie authors in the past year, like Simon McCleave and Jason Dalgleish, we can now add Daniel Hurst to that list. In just two years since he specialised in writing psychological thrillers and suspense novels, he's sold enough books to both give up his day job and employ his wife full-time to support him. As Daniel explains to Adrian and Rebecca, some of the keys to his success is hard work, writing and releasing books quickly, and writing to market. His new novel The Rivals is released on 15th January.

Also this week, we look at the predicted publishing trends for 2022, and we congratulate Ian Rankin on signing another seven-figure contract for his next two Rebus books.
